Academic Calendar, held annually on the first Monday of November. In
recognition of Black Solidarity Day, SUNY Plattsburgh will host a Social
Justice Teach-In, featuring programming for the Plattsburgh and Queensbury
community about racial justice, anti-racism, and social justice. It will
be a series of concurrent events held all over campus and in virtual online
spaces, led by students, faculty, staff, and community groups. Our theme for
November 2024 has been selected by Black Onyx: The Black Student Union and is,
"Be the Change You Wish to See."<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></p>

This is a day to meditate on
the meaning of social justice and civic engagement in our globally diverse

societal inequities, and to illuminate how Black voices are integral to
American life" and our university community.<span style="color:rgb(103,78,167)"> </span><b><span style="color:black">We invite students, faculty, staff, and community members
